Illustrator uses tablet pressure for paint variations. It is not as sophisticated as Painter or Photoshop's use of the tablet. Anyway i have a friend who draws for his work with Illustrator. His style is close to the "ligne claire" from Hergé. No pencil texture or paper texture here. I believe that Illustrator is the best tool for this style of drawing... for some people.

Illustrator is a vector graphics program while Painter is an image editing program. they are about as far apart in the art creation world as it is possible to get. vector graphics means you are dealing with only with shapes. images are a bunch of pixels. Illustrator takes no advantage at all of a tablet over a mouse, while Painter's existence is justified by using it with pressure sensitive tablets. i have 3 or 4 versions of each. for ordinary photographic image manipulation that most people do here, Painter is well behind what Photoshop can do, while painterly manipulation is what Painter is all about and Photoshop is just adequate.

There isn't a big difference between Illustrator and Painter is there? I
wouldn't think so.
